If he is having any symptoms he will need medicine, else not. Ask him to keep checking his oxygen saturation, if it drops below 94 or he gets breathlessness issue then consult any local near doctor immediately. Till then ask him to follow all covid protocols, maintain hydration, have some kadha, wear double mask, maintain hygiene and you can contact me on practo or on 8895_9099_75
